I have oatmeal listed on my accepted foods list from my surgeon. I would hope it is okay... I have been eating it.

Interested in hearing from everyone on this

Oatmeal is good but I find I can't eat much of it. It fills me up so quick and is just a waiste so I prefer cream of wheat.

Oatmeal

I have had Oatmeal with blue berries or banana since 5 weeks post op every morning

I have three heaping teaspoons and 1/4 cup of skim milk micro for 3 mins.and then I add blueberries or a half of a banana. I also use splenda

I like the hot food and it seems to stick with me for a while.

I find it is my comfort food.
I hope it is OK I would hate to have to give it up

Oatmeal is great. It apparently has natural properties that help in lowering cholesterol and it is a slow releasing carb which means you should stay fuller for longer. Eat it and be happy

My Dr. said it is ok if used 1-2 times per week. Especially useful if you tend to be consipated.

I was eating oatmeal quite a bit, the "Weight Control" variety because it was lower in carbs and higher in protein. I could eat one packet and be completely full. The taste of though started to get to me after a while so I've not had it recently. I would LOVE to have the Maple and Brown Sugar variety because that's what I used to eat all the time pre-surgery, but it's got too much sugar in it and I'm afraid it will make me dump. I've not been brave enough to try it yet.

Oatmeal is also on the list of stuff my doctor said was okay to eat, which, if you want to see the list, you can access it through Gwen's Megapost for the Newbies here:

Hello Katie

I'm not allowed any carbs (protein, protein, protein!) until at least 6 months out, so oatmeal is a no-go for me. I think it depends on your surgeon's diet plan.
